The WCAAD Senior Art Show: Metamorphosis ----Alice Zhou / Jenny Guan / Angel Zhao / Angelina Tang / Irene Zhou / Claire Hwa

Alice Zhou

Wisps of Youth

An enchantress attacks. Elegantly waving her arms, she summons a blue wisp; not quite gas nor liquid, having a property of its own. The wisp engulfs her enemies, lulling them to a deadly, eternal sleep.

Jenny Guan

"Inversion"

This garment has been transformed into a jacket resembling trousers and a skirt or hoodie. Inspired by the intricate pleats of the Victorian period, it utilizes tie-dye fabric. This piece shows how clothing can be repurposed and worn in different ways.

​Angel Zhao

"Into the Abyss"

The mental state of a woman who undergoes oppression. The hands claw and reach toward her, wishing to control and harm her as she falls into a darkness that seems to have no end. She reaches out, wishing for someone to save her, yet no one responds. (Oil Painting)

“Untitled”

Untitled uses clay to express a metaphorical reality of the old societal expectations of women: to dress modestly, to be obedient, forbidden from having thoughts or identity.

​Angelina Tang

“Do I Look Good?”—Oil on canvas, fake flowers

“Live Action”—Watercolor, acrylic, foam, cardboard

​Irene Zhou

“Tree of Doom”

Human’s ignorance of pollution.

“Thomas”

One’s Struggles with their self-identity: attempting to grow while also satisfying the public’s expectations.

 “Still Life”

Still life painting with oil on canvas.

“Women”

Being a female and the beauty standards, “pink tax”, fewer career opportunities, and stereotypical societal roles/expectations that come with it.

​Claire Hwa

"Daphne"

Loosely based on the Greek myth, in which Daphne is mercifully turned into a laurel tree to escape her pursuer, Apollo. Here she lies for all eternity, buried safely under thick foliage.
